The New York Times has a 3-page article on Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel and his colorful family. The article starts with a story about Manziel’s father fighting another kid every day until his grandmother made the two boys fight in the yard to settle their differences. Then they casually drop in this gem.

quote:"Yes, John Paul was a Manziel. Like his father, Big Paul, who claims he was the cockfighting world champion in 1983."
